In just a little over 10 years, KRS-One has gone ghetto-platinum, all of his releases considered rap classics. Both with Boogie Down Productions and as a solo artist, KRS has schooled rap fans with his thoughtful, intelligent lyrics. On I GOT NEXT, KRS-One continues to take hip-hop beyond entertainment and into education. | | Musically, KRS still delivers the raw hip-hop he's famous for. "The MC" is head-nodding rap at its best, with KRS' lyrical flow adding even more depth to a multidimensional track. "Step Into A World" features rowdy lyrics and a loud party-anthem beat that will rock any crowd. On the Enhanced CD, KRS-One talks about The Temple Of Hip-Hop, the school that he intends to build, which will be centered around the preservation of hip-hop culture. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (5/15/97, p.115)
- 3 Stars (out of 5)
- "...a smorgasbord of jazzy rhythms, R&B melodies, and, as usual, old-school boom bap--all propelled by KRS-One's trademark boastful lilts..."Entertainment Weekly (6/13/97, pp.68-69)
- "...In a stunning return to form, this hip-hop revolutionary finally sounds like he's having fun." - Rating: A- The Source (5/97, p.127)
- 3.5 Mics (out of 5)
- "...Kris is hip-hop's Cassius Clay....the Blastmaster slices through lyrics like a cuisinart, showcasing his preternatural oratorical schemes....KRS-One's albums, BDP or otherwise, have always remained pertinent and inventive..." |
